A 3-month-old puppy was abandoned over the weekend inside a bag in a bathroom at a Las Vegas airport.

The Chihuahua mix was discovered at McCarran International Airport in the Las Vegas Valley, along with a heartbreaking note, explaining why his owner had left him behind.

“Hi! I’m Chewy!” the handwritten note read, according to an animal rescue group. “My owner was in an abusive relationship and couldn’t afford me to get on the flight. She didn’t want to leave me with all her heart but she has NO other option.

“My ex-boyfriend kicked my dog when we were fighting and he has a big knot on his head. He probably needs a vet. I love Chewy sooo much. Please love and take care of him.”

The note writer’s story has not been confirmed.

She said the airport has had pets get separated from owners in the past and has tried to reunite them, but she said this was a “unique circumstance.” It is unclear who Chewy’s owner is or where she could be found.
